I've got to start every morning with a cup of coffee. The smell, taste, feeling all let me know it's going to be a good day. Whenever I travel I love to find a small local coffee shop to grab a bite and an almond milk latte.
My sister and I went to Kauai to photograph a wedding. The day after the wedding we decided to have an adventure day. The first order of business was to find coffee near our motel, the Tip Top Motel. When in Kauai I highly recommend that you get breakfast from the Tip Top Motel, it's super local and super ono (delicious in Hawaiian).
However, we had breakfast there the day before and wanted to try something new. So, we walked down the street to Aloha Roastery, where I took the first photo. I loved the aesthetic of this coffee shop, very simple and modern. We both got almond milk lattes and they were absolutely delicious. I would highly recommend coming to Aloha Roastery for coffee and a pastry.
After enjoying our lattes we went out for our adventures. We went to a nearby museum, The Kauai Museum in Lihue, where we learned some history about Kauai. After the museum we went waterfall chasing. Wailua falls (the second photo) is stunning. We walked around that area for a while and then hung out at the beach for most of the afternoon.
Sister trips are the best. Sister trips where you make some money doing the job that you love, find some great coffee, get educated at museums, find a waterfall, and hang out at the beach are even better.
